I’ve been pretty happy with my slim (and cheap!) RFID wallet/card case — but this card case from Tusk is mighty tempting.

I love the contrasting colors — in the pictured wallet, it’s green on the outside, lavender/light blue on the inside, and then has more colorful details behind the plastic card sleeve).

So fun, and it seems really functional, as well as being easy to find in any bag. The card case comes in 6 colors for $108 at Nordstrom. The brand has a lot of similar offerings to look through.

Here’s a fun little question for today: what beauty product makes the most difference for you — and do you wear it often?

I ask it like that because mascara makes a big difference for me, but my sensitive eyes honestly hate wearing mascara — so it’s an occasional thing for me. I was just watching an interview with Your Rich BFF and she mentioned that manicures are irrelevant to her (same, girl) but that she will definitely find time in her budget and schedule for her lashes.

So, setting aside mascara (or lashes!), I would say that these are my top 5 (not counting skin products like tretinoin and sunscreen!)

1. Eyebrows – the older I get the more I need the eyebrows to frame my face. Some women go for prominent eyeglasses; my current daily glasses are pretty thin metallic blue frames so the eyebrows are essential. (I almost exclusively wear blue eyeglasses these days… but I feel like I may be getting into little red eyeglasses territory also.) Annoyingly I’m still trying to find the best product for me at the moment — my beloved EcoBrow is just a shade too dark, and the cooler taupes are a shade too light. I finally broke down and bought a gray/brunette pencil and I like the color but not this exact formulation. (If you have suggestions I’d love to hear them!)
2. Blush – Again, I’m super pale, so I need a little bit of added color on my face. I feel like it gives my face dimension and, well, that “alive!” feeling we all love. Lately I’ve been reaching for my Nars Orgasm liquid one the most, but I still wear a lot of the other ones I’ve posted about in the past.
3. Concealer – Yes, third! At least, I feel like this is third for me — it still makes a really huge difference, but not as much as the first two. Lately I’ve been liking this one.
4. (Eye cream – I always think about how some scientist/beauty bloggers made a big deal about how eye creams aren’t different than any other face cream, and your eyes don’t need anything special… but I do feel like my delicate eye area can “take” the richer cream on a more regular basis than the rest of my face, and having done an eye cream first really makes a difference with concealer application. I ran out of my favorite eye cream so I’ve been going through some other ones that I’ve acquired from random places before purchasing my favorite again.)
5. Tinted lip gloss (or sheer lipstick) – this is always my finishing step before I meet people, and the one thing I always have on me so I can reapply it as needed. My latest favorite is Chantecaille’s, but I also reach for Dior Addict, NARS Afterglow, or my older Chubby sticks pretty regularly.

Readers, over to you — what beauty product makes the most difference for you?

Summer might not seem like the season for layering, but that is exactly why it is worth being intentional about the pieces you add to bring dimension to a look. A shirt worn open, a poncho slipped over pants, a kaftan you have been waiting all season to wear, or a sarong tied before a beach day can shift the entire mood of an outfit before anything else is added.

What I love most about layering during the summer is how naturally the most unexpected color and texture combinations begin to happen. This edit brings together pieces that add movement, color, and shape to something otherwise simple, with accessories that just fall into place. Jewelry with subtle sparkle, a woven bag or sun hat, a crochet headscarf, each adding its own small point of view.

This is where the fun comes in: a chevron print beside a fuchsia basket bag, a bright bead against a translucent green layer. Nothing has to match perfectly. It just takes a bit of imagination to make summer dressing feel joyful, considered, and sun-drenched.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I was recently complaining to a friend that it was time to replace some of my beloved Eileen Fisher crepe pants when she leapt out of her seat to show me her new favorite contenders in the category of “pants that are work-appropriate but still feel like pajamas.” As she jumped and stretched in these Vuori ankle pants, I decided that was enough of an endorsement for me to give them a try.

Like the other Vuori items I have in my closet, the fabric feels luxe, and the fit is perfection. With the elastic waistband in the back, I’m not sure I would wear these in the most formal of offices, but for 95% of us, they’ll be a great work option.

The pants are $110 at Vuori and come in sizes XS-XXL in a regular (26”) and long (29”) inseam. They’re also available in “blue coast,” “smokey taupe,” and cerise (in lucky sizes only).
